About this study

Official title: Tumor Characteristics and Survival Rate of HER2-Low Breast Cancer Patients; a Cross-Sectional Study

In this large-scale cross-sectional study, we evaluated disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and clinicopathological characteristics of BC patients from 1991 to 2022, retrospectively. We recruited patients referred to the Cancer Research Center in Tehran, Iran, and their HER2 status, which is classified as HER2-low, HER2-positive, or HER2-negative, was obtained from prospectively maintained registries. we aimed to dive more deeply into the clinicopathological characteristics and survival features of HER2-low breast cancer patients and campared it with HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups.

Question 1: Is HER2-low breast cancer (BC) a new subtype in the standard classification of BCs? Question 2: How is the DFS and OS rate of HER2-low breast cancer patients in comparison with HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups?

Being tested

    These tests are usually applied for breast cancer patients to assist the surgeon to better understand the clinicopathological characteristics and survival features of tumors

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. HER2-low OS

    HER2-low status had the highest survival rate.

    Measured: 38 months

  2. HER2-low DFS

    HER2-low status had the highest DFS.

    Measured: 33 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HER2 Low Breast Carcinoma, run by Mahdis Bayat.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HER2-low OS (time frame: 38 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05754047, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Mar 2023.
